Greetings, fellow readers and studiers. I am Starswirl the Bearded of Trottingham. Father of the famous amniomorphic spell, creator of over two hundred more spells, and possibly the greates conjurer of this era in Equestria.
In the early years of my youth I was extremely gifted at magic and could conquer any challange that stood in my way, but now at my acursed old age I now reside in my bed, about to die. My body is weaken and drained of strength, and because my sight is poor and blinded I have asked my loyal apprentice, Clover the Clever of Buckinghamshire, to write to message as he listens to my very words.
It is almost time for me to depart from the world that I so loved, and into the eternal land of Paradise. But before I go I must tell many of this vision I had recieved just last night. A vision that must be shared with those can read.
In the future of Equestria, many centuries from now, an ancient evil that has been banished for a long time will return from exile with his followers to bring havok and death upon the kingdom and her neighbors. He will be known as the Malevolent One, and he will search for eight objects that will give him domination over the known universe. He will become so powerful and godlike that armies will not be a match for him. Not even the Elements of Harmony will over come his might.
But do not give up hope yet when this chaos comes, you sons and daughters of Equestria. For when this horrible bane arrives, so will a savior. He comes from the world where the Malevolent One was sent to, and the Malevolent One seeks to rule his world as well, just as our.
This benevolent one shall be called the Councilor, the chosen one declared to deliver us from the upcoming darkness. His kindness is like that of a butterfly that does not seek violence or trouble, but only happniess, laughter, joy, and serenity. His wisdom and beauty is like the finest marble statue ever crafted, and he will be admired and desired by many. And his wrath and hatred against the nature of evil beings will be like that of a fierce thunderstorm.
Be thankful that he will walk in the way of heroes and will stand against the forces of death, for his power, which I do not know where it comes from, will be undescribable for those who witness him in action. He will turn the hearts of many towards good, he will cause mountains and valleys to collapse by just thought, he will split apart seas and rivers, and he will turn the authorities of kings and conquerors of nations to dust.
And when the great conflict between him and the Malevolent One comes into effect, The Councilor shall be crowned victorious! And his world and our world will see the sun again!
This is the end of my prophecy, and the end of my life is near as well. But the war between the allies of the Councilor and the servants of the Malevolent One has not yet come.
Peace be to you, readers and studiers. Peace be to all of us in these times.
